James Milner joins Aston Villa - £12m!


Recommended Posts

To be fair Milner today showed why we were right to snap Villa's hands off for £12m. A hardworking player, but lacks pace and crossing and shooting ability.

 

The way Setanta were saying he has pace etc before the game was laughable. It's like they just recite the 'rough guide to premier league reputations' before every game.

Aye he was awful.  It was funny when he tried to skin Enrique and then beat him in an acceleration race, but failed, massively.  Might be 'cos he isn't worth 12 million.

It would be very easy to call Milner shite and explain how I am wiping the tears of laughter away with a crisp £20 from the £12 Millions worth we got for him.

 

 

 

But seriously, he was very poor tonight, no crossing didn't get past Enrique once to my knowledge, didn't really look up for it.

I actually shouted out tonight, ha, Milner has just been pushed off the ball off Enrique, what a tart. I had a few chuckles around me actually  :lol: I've had an eventful day  :snod:  :colo:

Like I've said a few times, if we'd sold Milner in June for £12m, and then signed Gutierrez 3-days before the deadline day for half of that amount, I don't think we'd have been getting the, "but we didn't replace Milner" sh*te that's been spouted.

 

Fact is, we replaced him before he left...not often Newcastle actually do that!

lets be honest,as someone who didn't think milner was anywhere near as bad as many thought......selling milner for 7mill and buying jonas for 11 mill would still have been good business.

to think, we let milner take freekicks all that time, when nicky butt is far better. geremi can fuck off from 25 yards as well now.

 

Lets not get carried away, the fact that Nicky Butt was our best option to take a freekick is a worry on it's own tbh.

To be fair to Butt, I've seen him take two free-kicks for us since he arrived.

 

One he hit the bar at Arsenal last season, last night he hit the post.

 

Can't be that bad!

He's obviously got the ability to take them so it's surprising he's only taken the two.

nee idea why villa bought him, doesnt fit into the counter attacking with pace philosophy at all was owned all night by our fullbacks

 

Didn't you hear Setanta? He has 'pace' and 'crosses a great ball'. Must be a different James Milner to the one that we had.
